God used her degree in education, her love for Christ, and her family’s needs, and He put together this thing we call Not Consumed Ministries today. Although she would never have imagined it this way, she is a work-from-home full-time mom who runs a business, homeschools her kids, and by the grace of God, manages to feed them, too. Don't picture "superwoman" because you'll be missing the point. We have the privilege of serving families like you because God is so gracious to us. He has put all of the pieces together and gives us the strength we need to do what we are called to do each day. And trust her when she says, “I haven't done any of it perfectly!” She has felt the bitterness of betrayal and the loneliness of divorce. She has felt the overwhelm of single parenting and the fear of financial ruin. And she once sat helpless as her baby was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She rests in this truth. THE BEAUTY OF LIFE ISN’T FOUND IN PERFECT CIRCUMSTANCES. IT’S FOUND IN FAITH. BECAUSE GOD IS FAITHFUL . . . She would like to invite you to join her as we all CHOOSE TO LIVE #NOTCONSUMED. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on all the Not Consumed Ministries inspiration and resources! / @notconsumedministries #NotConsumed #NotConsumedMinistries #KimJones #KimSorgiusJones #Homeschool #Faith #DevotionalTools #BibleStudies #BibleStudy #KidsBibleStudy #Discipleship
